Fathers wanted but still not respected
Overall, it appears the culture and our politicians are grudgingly admitting that fathers matter to children after all. But it’s nowhere near enough, says Ayami Tyndall.
Democracy, Dissent and the Men's Rights Movement
The essence of freedom, and democracy itself, is the right to stand up and speak unpopular ideas without fear of violent reprisal or persecution–and only by the constant challenging of old ideas can society improve itself. Ayami Tyndall explains.
Yes to men’s rights (provided it never actually happens)
Many people claim to support men’s rights, but when asked to endorse the necessary changes to social and legal policy the same individuals get struck with a case of the “what ifs.” Ayami Tyndall contends that unless support for men’s rights is continuous and enthusiastic, it doesn’t equate to genuine support.
Men’s Rights and Poverty
Over three-billion men and boys are routinely exploited, overlooked and abused, with it all rationalized as necessary, as fair, or as simply not happening. The war on men and boys is directly tied to class warfare and poverty, says Ayami Tyndall.
The sacred cow of maternity
Despite its humble occurance throughout the mammalian world, pregnancy and childbirth is often viewed in the human world as a magical and perhaps divine acheivement. Ayami Tyndall feels that this is all a bit overstated, contending that the real miracle begins with the raising of a child.
An alternative to Paper Abortion
The whole idea that a man should have the an equitable equivalent reproductive rights as a woman does when a pregnancy occurs is anathema to society. So, perhaps instead of granting men more rights, Ayami Tyndall has a creative idea on how to get greater equality instead!
I Don’t Thank Slaves, Rape Victims or Soldiers
Rape, slavery and war all involve abuse of human bodies. We would never praise rape-victims for giving pleasure to their rapist, nor laud slaves for being good whipping boys. Ayami Tyndall explains that, by the same logic, he cannot praise soldiers for having their bodies and minds subjected to horrific abuse.
The right to Be There
A court rules that a father may be excluded from the birth of his child if the mother wishes it. Ayami Tyndall takes exception.
Why Men Don’t Wear Condoms
Condoms have been around for thousands of years, but men are somewhat reluctant to wear them. Ayami Tyndall brings an interesting perspective on why men are not comfortable with condoms.
